This cute little Japanese cafe has been pretty busy as of late. It was on my radar last summer but it felt pretty hot inside so I thought I would try it later in the year.

The interior seats about 20 people on a good day and mounted on the back wall sits a few chalkboards used as menus. They offer a wide variety of drinks (coffee, tea etc) and the food menu includes both Japanese yoshoku food and regular Western sandwiches. There is even a combination of the two and you can order a katsu sandwich or katsu wrap. I ordered the okonomiyaki and the katsu don for my friend. I was in a rush so I had to get it for take out.

The okonomiyaki ($7.99) was tasty and but not quite as good as the ones I had in Japan. It was hard to tell what exactly is in this Osaka treat but you could taste or see bits of shrimp, octopus, clam, and squid along with a few red peppers and maybe asparagus. It was covered with bonito flakes and red ginger. The Katsu don ($7.99) was solid, moist inside and crispy outside. My friend was very happy with her meal.
